Modelling the air jet massage process

摘要

In this report the results of experimental and theoretical research of the aero- and thermodynamics into massage with an air jet inclined to the calf surface are discussed. A need for such an investigation is caused by the development of air massage devices. The main attention in the present research has been concentrated on mathematical modelling of aero- and thermodynamic processes in massage depression to get these processes under control. Experimetnal investigations have also been undertaken to determine massage depression profiles and air velocity patterns. A radical control of massage and cooling effects above the skin enables us to develop more perfect massage devices. Copyright direct C 2000 IFAC
